"The most productive means of procrastination I’ve ever discovered. The short lesson blocks are painless and peppy, and reaching the next level (and then the level after that) becomes addictive." —Slate

New: Meet your very own cheerleader! Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it's Duo, the green owl, who, on second thought, is in fact a bird. Expect some in-lesson feathery pats on the back while getting things very right — or very wrong.

With its friendly approach and awesome updates, Duolingo’s long been one of our favorite apps for learning another language. Its secret: making the process genuinely fun. Engaging mini-games test your reading, writing, and speaking skills, and joining a club (where you can encourage and compete with others) adds a great social element. Bonus: all those languages and games are available for free!

After a couple months of using this app (for one language) I have managed to remember words and simple phrases. The app was telling me I knew the language very well as I had no mistakes on each level. The thing is it looks like is working but in reality it doesn’t. It’s like a game where you repeat stuff and memorize like a parrot but then in a real situation it fails. I have learned much better my chosen language by watching movies. And I can have a conversation in 3 languages learned with a teacher in school. My advice, pay a teacher and take lessons. This app is only for fun.

suuper interactive and useful app. one thing that i woud find much more helpfull... i got a lot of chapters done and after some time passes and i dont use the app, i would like to have the option to practice chunks of all the chapters randomly in one session, rather then having to practice the first chapters first. Its just a preference of mine, the app is gorgeous! :)
